TESTING PROTESTANTISM I think I'll start a regular series on testing the claims of Protestants and Protestantism. Rule #1 for Protestants: You can't refer to the Catholic Church at all. Your theology has to stand on its own. Your theology is being tested.

@CanaanForHarris @Catholic_bro Jesus and the Bible disagree with your opinion here

@HabitualLinest @Catholic_bro Yes, it does. Because you believe works are part of your salvation. You have a false gospel.

Go to confession

@realsupero @TheStaad You're still not addressing the topic of your claim to have the infallible interpretation of the Bible

@HabitualLinest @TheStaad Based on over 40 years of reading the Bible, I have personally witnessed transformational and beyond reasonable implications of meditating and reading it. I don’t get sidetracked by version debates, I know the power in it and I need no further justification.

I’m not interested in sola scriptura. I tried that for years and it’s a highly flawed position Besides, I have the Eucharist and belong to the Church that Christ founded, which gave us Scripture No turning back now

@CanaanForHarris @Catholic_bro That verse has nothing to do with our discussion

@HabitualLinest @Catholic_bro And I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law. You have been severed from Christ, you who are being justified by law; you have fallen from grace! — Galatians 5:3-4

@CanaanForHarris @Catholic_bro Your gospel is a tradition of man. The Gospel of Christ is not. You don't have the Gospel of Christ

@HabitualLinest @Catholic_bro Preaching the gospel is a tradition of men? Huh?

@realsupero @TheStaad That doesn't address what I said

@HabitualLinest @TheStaad If you compare the overlapping Old Testament books + full New Testament, nearly 90% of the text is the same in substance as the Catholic version (differing only in translation wording, phrasing, and archaic vs. modern English).

@realsupero @TheStaad It's wild that you think your interpretation of the Bible is infallible

@TheStaad Anyone who actively spends time reading and meditating on the Bible cannot diminish its radical and transformative power. Whereas the church has erred in so many instances over the years. Scripture over man made institutions all day, every day.

@PatsKam Keep religion off social media!

Just a Jesus loving gal 🫶🏻

@sola_chad Oops! 😂😂😂😂 Protestants only cherry pick instead is reading all of Romans

“ALL have sinned …”

Funny how Protestants haven't read the rest of Romans... Romans 5:18....are "all" saved?

@M2Jrh @Truth_matters20 The Eucharist literally IS Jesus

@Truth_matters20 See this. 2 Corinthians 2:2 For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. Not some wine & bread.

Is this an accurate statement?

@Wombat11412 @Truth_matters20

@Truth_matters20 No, it is not. Christ Himself is the center of Christianity. I am stunned that even a dyed-in-the-wool Roman Catholic would self own this badly. He doesn’t want Christ. He wants bread that he mistakenly believes IS Christ.

@JesusSaves1500 @Truth_matters20 The Eucharist is literally Christ Himself You're putting the Bible above Christ

@Truth_matters20 Christianity centers on Christ as revealed in Scripture, not the Eucharist itself.

Yes. Thank God. We need to support and celebrate this judge. She’s one of the few with the courage to treat these scumbags exactly as they deserve to be treated. We don’t have to be held hostage by the worst among us. We can actually punish them.

Never relax

@123yourfren @BeSaintly Tarnish his memory by posting his own words? I don't think you realize what you admitted here

@BeSaintly Very rich for all of you to try and tarnish the memory of a faithful Christian barely a year after he has passed on. It isn't saintly to act like this.

Reminder that John MacArthur said: “It is heretical to call the blood of Christ the blood of God”

@GrewUpCatholic @Catholic_bro You have committed the sin of bearing false witness. You clearly don't follow Him who is truth itself

@Catholic_bro Oh so besides the fact that you worship her?

What’s a Marian truth people miss? I’ll go first: Mary always points us directly to Jesus never away from Him

When you actually write out what happened with the Protestant Revolt/Reformation, it's legit insane. So for the first ONE THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED YEARS of the Christian faith, there was near unanimous teaching among the Catholic, Orthodox and Coptic churches. They all believed in 7 sacraments which confer God's grace, Scripture and Tradition, a sacerdotal priesthood, salvation by faith and good works, intercession of saints, perpetual virginity of Mary, relics, etc etc etc Now after FIFTEEN CENTURIES, one lone German monk FINALLY figures out the ACTUAL Christian faith. Now this German monk, and I'm not making this up, used to have literal poop-flinging battles with the devil in his commode. THIS is the guy who FINALLY cracked the code of the Bible that had eluded ALL Christians, including St Ignatius, St Augustine, St Aquinas, and an army of other doctors and saints of the Christian faith. This guy was the one. So Jesus allowed His Church to wallow in MASSIVE errors for a MILLENNIA AND A HALF! Now here's where it even gets wilder. It seems that this mentally off German monk actually did NOT crack the code of the Bible correctly. Because a French humanist(!) deduced that not only was faith and good works wrong, but so were the sacraments, saints, etc etc etc This new guy, the French humanist(!!!), decided that almost EVERYTHING about the Christian faith was wrong. He and the mentally disturbed monk tried to find common ground but couldn't. That's how far theologically they were apart. Now these two men, plus a s€xu©lly degenerate king, are the FOUNDERS of the REFORMATION of the Christian faith!!! But these three are WILDLY different in their theology and beliefs. But somehow these 3 have successfully brought Christianity back to it's original doctrine and beliefs, BUT WE DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE OF THESE THREE IS CORRECT!!!! You can't make this stuff up!

@EtPraevalebit Christ, through His gift of the Eucharist, allows us to approach God Himself. The veil separated man from God. Now through baptism we can approach Him. It doesn't mean there's no authority structure. It's just a silly thing for her to say

@HabitualLinest Yes! Also the veil is Christ’s flesh (Heb 10:20). The Old Temple sacrifices are ended/fulfilled in His one sacrifice. Christ is revealed as the Temple (John 2:21), the High Priest (Heb 4:14), and the Sacrifice (Ephesians 5:2). We are united to His sacrifice in the Eucharist.

Jesus LITERALLY established a magisterium. No one was given permission to disobey Peter and the Apostles. And the Magisterium literally had authority to determine doctrine (Acts 15) that all Christians must accept. NO ONE had permission to ignore what they taught. This CDS that Protestants suffer from ends up with them rejecting even the Council of Nicea. They end up denying the DIVINITY OF CHRIST because of their CDS (Catholic Derangement Syndrome)

> Prots: "Baptism isn't required for salvation." Jesus: “Unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God." > Prots: "Eucharist is just a symbol." Jesus: "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."
